Chapter Seventy-Seven: Reading the Edict

Zhu Hao's words, the choked Concubine Zheng was speechless, and only came back to her senses after a while, pointed at Zhu Hao and shouted angrily: "You, you rebel, this concubine is your elder, how can you talk to this concubine like this!" There is really no tutor! I'm angry with this concubine, this concubine wants to educate and educate you for your father! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Concubine Zheng's shouting words, snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Educate me? Today, I want to see how you educate this prince! ”

Seeing that Zhu Hao completely despised her authority, Concubine Zheng was furious in her heart, and she could no longer control the anger in her heart, and roared angrily: "Arrest this little beast with no respect for her superiors!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Concubine Zheng's murderous words, glanced at Concubine Zheng with disdain, and snorted coldly: "Who is the little beast scolding?" ”

Concubine Zheng was furious at the moment, where did she think that Zhu Hao was tricking him at this moment, and even yelled: "The little beast scolds you!" ”

Zhu Hao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "How can you be a little beast when you are so old?" Don't pretend to be tender! This prince sees that you are an old brute! ”

After Zhu Hao's words were finished, Concubine Zheng reacted, Zhu Hao was tricking her just now, and immediately jumped to her feet angrily and roared: "What a sharp-toothed boy, come on!" Where are you bastard minions dead? Don't arrest this little beast for this concubine yet! ”

Anger has made Concubine Zheng a little irrational, and she has also lost the calmness and unhurriedness of doing things in the past, she didn't realize at all that in the past, as long as she greeted her, there would be an attendant rushing over, but at this moment, she shouted again and again, and no one responded to the abnormal situation.

Zhu Hao looked at Concubine Zheng who was jumping in place, and snorted coldly: "Old poisonous woman, no one will listen to you, don't you want to call someone?" This prince is calling you! ”

Zhu Hao said, and shouted loudly: "Where are the Praetorian Guards? ”

As soon as Zhu Hao's words fell, a team of Praetorian Guards walked in from outside the Qianqing Palace, and the original inner servants of the Qianqing Palace had been taken care of by the Praetorian Guards at this moment, Zhu Hao knew all of them, but what surprised Zhu Hao was that the person who led the team turned out to be Xie Gang, the commander of the Praetorian Guards.

Zhu Hao looked at Xie Gang and asked in surprise, "Xie Gang, why are you here?" ”

When Xie Gang heard this, he hurriedly paid homage and said: "The last general will see His Royal Highness, return to His Highness, the thing is like this, after the last general and the flower commander received the order of His Royal Highness, they divided their labor, he guarded the palace gate, and the last general guarded the Qianqing Palace!" So the end will be here! ”

Zhu Hao nodded when he heard this: "This division of labor is very good!" Now in times of turmoil, you must protect the safety of the palace! ”

Xie Gang listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly saluted again: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the last general will be strictly guarded, and there will not be any restless factors in the palace!" As he spoke, he glanced at Concubine Zheng.

Listening to the conversation between Zhu Hao and Xie Gang, Concubine Zheng on the side could no longer be calm, pointed at Xie Gang and exclaimed, "Xie Gang? How did you get out? Aren't you locked up in the Praetorian Guard? Why did you take over the Praetorian Guard? Are you trying to rebel? ”

Listening to Concubine Zheng's words, Xie Gang didn't look at her, and ignored her words at all, Zhu Hao listened to Concubine Zheng's questioning, glanced at her coldly, and said coldly: "Concubine Niangniang, have you forgotten that this prince has a dragon gift from his father, and his father died suddenly, and this prince was afraid that there would be traitors in the palace to make trouble, so he used the dragon to make an order on behalf of his father, so Xie Gang took over the Praetorian Guard and blocked the palace. Do you have any questions, Lady Lady? ”

Concubine Zheng listened to Zhu Hao's words, and sighed in her heart: "How can I calculate everything, I missed this kid, a little loach turned up a stormy wave, this time it was really capsized in the gutter." ”

Thinking like this in her heart, Concubine Zheng was unwilling to fail like this, she forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and snorted coldly: "Why did you make an order? You're a coquettish! It's a big rebellion! It's a rebellion! ”

Zhu Hao really didn't want to have any more communication with Concubine Zheng, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Enough!" This prince has no time to talk nonsense with you! After finishing speaking, Zhu Hao looked at Xie Gang and instructed: "The concubine is old and a little confused, you take the concubine outside to cool off, let the concubine be sober and sober, stop talking nonsense here!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hao's words were finished, all the people felt cold in their hearts, and they all secretly thought that Zhu Hao's hand was really too ruthless. Because it was pouring rain outside the Qianqing Palace at this moment, if this Concubine Zheng was taken out, she would definitely turn into a soup chicken in an instant.

Fang Congzhe listened to Zhu Hao's words, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he persuaded Zhu Hao coolly: "Your Highness, it's raining heavily outside?" The concubine is old, and if she suffers from the cold, I'm afraid she will ...... Please be merciful to Your Highness and take back your life! ”

Zhu Hao snorted coldly when he heard this, and said angrily: "Fang Shoufu, are you teaching the prince how to do things?" Don't forget the piece of paper in the hands of this prince! This prince sees that you still don't waste time, hurry up and write an edict! ”

Fang Congzhe listened to Zhu Hao's words and didn't dare to say anything more, so he picked up the four treasures of the study and began to write the edict.

Zhu Hao saw that Fang Congzhe was honest, then looked at Xie Gang again and shouted, "Commander Xie, what are you still doing in a daze?" Isn't what Prince Ben just said clear enough? ”

When Xie Gang heard this, he hurriedly replied: "The last general has orders!" Saying that, Xie Gang pointed to Concubine Zheng and commanded the Praetorian Guard sergeant behind him: "Take it away!" ”

Concubine Zheng looked at Zhu Hao that this was really coming, and even though she was a little panicked, she said angrily: "This concubine is the concubine of Emperor Wanli, which of you dares to touch this concubine!" ”

Concubine Zheng's extremely threatening words did not pose any threat to these two Praetorian Guard soldiers who stepped forward to make a move, these Praetorian Guard soldiers, they are just ordinary soldiers, they only know to listen to the orders of the commander, and they don't recognize the emperor's concubines at all, which has nothing to do with them at all.

No matter how Concubine Zheng exclaimed and abused, the two soldiers acted as if they couldn't hear it, and they walked towards the outside of the Qianqing Palace with Concubine Zheng on their feet.

After Concubine Zheng was taken out, it didn't take long for Fang Congzhe to tremble and take a prepared edict and hand it to Zhu Hao: "Your Highness, Weichen has written it, you can see if there are any problems!" ”

Zhu Hao took the edict handed over by Fang Congzhe, looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Fang Shoufu, he is worthy of being a genius of this dynasty!" This edict is very well written! Just read it out to the ministers! ”

Fang Congzhe listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness has a good reputation!" Don't dare to be a minister! Now that Wechen has prepared an edict according to His Highness's instructions, I wonder if His Highness can return the piece of paper to Wechen? ”

Zhu Hao listened to Fang Congzhe's words, and secretly sneered in his heart: "The evidence is in the hands of Lao Tzu, do you still want to go back?" What a whims! If Lao Tzu gives it to you, what will he take to avenge his father at that time, and how will you be punished for your crimes? ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhu Hao naturally would not agree to Fang Congzhe's request, but he was also afraid of forcing Fang Congzhe to rush and let Fang Congzhe jump off the wall in a hurry, so he pretended to comfort him, and actually delayed and said: "Fang Shoufu, don't worry, this prince will not keep it all the time, you handle, after reading the edict to the ministers in the early morning, this prince will naturally return the piece of paper to Fang Shoufu!" ”

Listening to Zhu Hao's delayed words, Fang Congzhe sighed helplessly and said: "That is the case, Wei Chen believes His Royal Highness's words, I hope His Royal Highness will not break his promise, and after reading the edict, he will return the paper to Wei Chen!" ”

Zhu Hao nodded again and again when he heard this: "Please rest assured that Fang Shoufu, this prince has always been very honest!" I won't break my word! Although Zhu Hao said so, he thought so in his heart: "Integrity? How much is a pound? Besides, with you, a king-killer, what integrity does Lao Tzu have? As long as you can avenge your father, what integrity, what is broken, Lao Tzu doesn't care, the world is willing to scold, let them scold, tomorrow I will publish this confession in the court, see how you old puppet and that old poisonous woman can quibble! ”

The next morning the rooster crows, the sky is gray, it seems to show that today is a sad day, at this moment the heavy rain in the sky, has been much smaller, turned into a light rain, Zhu Hao followed Fang Congzhe, together to the Taihe Gate, today the new funeral of the emperor of Daxing, the palace gate opened an hour and a half later than in the past, hundreds of officials dressed in filial piety clothes, has been waiting outside the noon gate for more than four hours, finally after the three-way drum, the palace gate opened, the hundred officials entered the noon gate, came to the Taihe gate, different from the past, Today, it is not them waiting for the emperor, but the first assistant of the cabinet, Yizhe, and the fifth prince, Zhu Youzhen, are waiting for the hundred officials in front of the Taihe Gate early.

Seeing that hundreds of officials arrived one after another, Zhu Hao gave Fang Congzhe a look, and Fang Congzhe took out a roll of yellow silk cloth from his arms, raised it above his head, and shouted: "Emperor Daxing's edict!" ”

When the officials heard this, they all knelt on the ground with a slight sob, and some exaggerated officials were lying on the ground crying bitterly, Zhu Hao looked at these ministers who were doing their best, and secretly slandered in his heart: "TNND is obviously Lao Tzu's dead father, how can you look like your dead father!" ”

Although Zhu Hao slandered the ministers in his heart, he was moved by this cry, and he couldn't help but think of his father's voice and smile, and his heart was suddenly extremely sad, and the corners of his eyes were moist at some point, and two lines of tears slipped out of his eyes uncontrollably.

After Fang Congzhe watched the ministers kneel down, he opened the edict and read it: "I have inherited the unification, I worry about state affairs day and night, and I have become ill from hard work, but God does not bless me, although there is an immortal medicine, it is difficult to change the destiny of heaven!" The first assistant of the cabinet, who is diligent and thrifty, is diligent in political affairs, and is actually the pillar of the Ming Dynasty! It is the will of heaven that I am gone, and the king of the future generations should not be angry because Lord Fang is looking for an immortal medicine for me, and do things that are harmful to the country and society.

Although I am not favored by heaven, I am fortunate to have the prince from the school, tolerant and benevolent, filial and humble, intelligent and studious. After my death, the prince will inherit my unification from the school, inherit the foundation of the ancestors, and be assisted by the princes, and will be able to open the peace of eternity. ”
